It looks someone took off the Rosie colored glasses from The View because The Wrap is reporting that Rosie Perez is not coming back. The actress is currently on hiatus from the show because she is rehearsing for a Broadway show and now it is being rumored they don’t want her back.
The show’s first season without Barbara Walters has been a ratings dud, so it looks they want to make some changes and go younger. Perez is 50, so they are seeking candidates half her age like Naya Rivera. The Glee star’s comments have been giving the talk show some much needed press in the last few days, so her name doesn’t surprise. In fact, I was already thinking that she would be a good replacement for the struggling show. Much better than Rosie Perez that was an odd choice from her announcement.
At this point, the network is denying this rumor, but I am sure there is truth to it because something has to be done if they want to save this show.
Granted, I think having two Alpha females on the show like Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg was a bigger mistake than hiring Rosie Perez. But not by much.
Today on The View, while talking to Ashanti about the flu shot, a loud sound was heard. Without missing a beat Whoopi Goldberg stood up, claiming she was the one who made the noise.
So do you think she farted or it was a sound effect. Since, she has cut the cheese before of the daytime talk show, I wouldn’t put it past the Oscar winner to do it again.
We are less that two weeks away from a Barbara Walters-less The View and yesterday we found out who will be joining Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell on the daytime talk show. ABC announced that actress Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace, communications chief for George W. Bush’s White House and re-election campaign and senior advisor for the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008, will be sitting at the table with them this season. Perez said it best in the press release, “I am beyond thrilled, honored and completely surprised that I’ve been asked to join ‘The View’.†Who wasn’t surprised when they heard she was joining the show? I mean, if this was 20 years ago, I would be excited about these four co-hosts. But it is 2014 and they are so 1994.
I think that people will tune in for premiere week out of curiosity, and then they will tune out. I just see a lot of screaming and talking over each other when it comes to the three actresses and that gets old, fast. At least to me it does.
The View is going to look a whole lot different next season because not only did they lose Barbara Walters to retirement, they are also losing Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy to the pink slip. According to what ABC told Variety, the ladies were reportedly fired today to make way for “an exciting new direction.” What that new direction is, do we really care because who watches this talk show anymore?
When it comes to Sherri and Jenny’s departures, it really isn’t that surprising. Shepherd’s personal life was news this year, and I am sure the show wanted to distance themselves from it. And when it comes to Donnie Wahlberg’s fiancee, she was an awful hire from the get go.
Oh well, at least they kept Whoopi Goldberg. Which is a good thing because it keeps her too busy to act more often.
Jenny McCarthy Tweeted this photo of herself with major bedhead and to me she kind of looks like Medusa. Granted I think she always turns me into stone whenever I watch her on The View. Who am I kidding, I never watch that daytime talk show.
